We went bowling on Saturday night! I do a much better job when I have had less beer. But I also care a lot less when I have more. I think it's a perfect combo.
Sometimes people pretend to be just average. And then you look at their scorecards and you find, "But, no! This person is much above the average for this pair of lanes!" Who is that person? My darlings, her name is Florette.
Florette has the delicate toe-behind-the-ankle at the end of the slide action going on. She follows through. She holds her arm straight and doesn't let it twist around like Harry Potter's arm in the second book. Florette is the queen of the bowling universe.
So we'll let her pick what wildflower we're bowling for.
Then, to keep it a family affair, Tex also has it going on with the whole bowling style thing. Not one to actually put his fingers inside the holes of the bowling ball, he cradles it like a football and then hurls it down the lane. In the meantime, he's also got the follow through going on and the ankle-behind-the-calf thing. Oh yeah, and he hits the pins a lot. Those two are the ones to have on a team.
Dotty tried to copy the style that Florette had demonstrated and explained. Dotty tried. Not all tries are good tries, my dears. This try, while well meant, was poorly executed. Florette was very kind to me (after I sort of tried to slide to a stop but then jerked to a stop instead and chucked the ball, badly, and put my toe behind my ankle). I hopped on one foot, my toe behind my ankle, back to her, she said, "But you looked good."
Ain't she sweet? We all know that I looked like an epileptic amphibian who'd been out of the water just a little too long. Flap! Flop!
I love Florette. She and I are going to get together sometime and be bad. We're going to watch girl movies and laugh about boys and drink ( ! ) and generally get into trouble. Oh yes! Oh yes oh yes!
For that opportunity, I would most certainly go bowling again.
